Is this 2004 déjà vu?

If you guys haven't figured it out by now, we're only really shopping for leftover talent because we're pretty content with the current shape of the roster, and setting up for an amazing 2015 draft class with 4 compensatory selections, should we sign no more than 1 "major" player this year.

On top of that, the leftovers that don't "walk" for us, will probably try to re-sign with us on a much lower salary figure, opening up the wallet for the next 2-3 years.

Whereas Denver is over here putting themselves into Salary Cap hell in 2016, 2017, and 2018, trying to buy a Super Bowl THIS year. And Christ Almighty is that going to backfire on them the second Peyton takes an Injury to the neck. Its clear, to me, that they don't expect him to play for more than 2 more years, and basically out there in the public saying we're going to buy a ring now, and suffer terrible seasons in the next 3-5 years rebuilding. Whereas we're just reloading the roster with draft picks for the next few years, seeking specific key players in Free Agency.

Also, its hard as **** to compete in free agency against the Broncos when they open the wallets up this big with pictures of Peyton's face on the check.

I'd have to say both teams are playing it very smart right now, and while it feels we have tossed in the towel and have started this year out with regression, it really isn't as bad as it feels.

I will not be surprised one bit if we come to find out that we've been working on a trade this whole time either for draft picks or a receiver/pass rusher.

Wouldn't be surprised if we end up loading on receivers and DB's here before long.
